Everyday a child is molested by someone they know. Most of the time it is kept secret. Those rare cases that make it to court turn out to get a slap on the wrist and are released back into society, when it has been PROVEN that almost 100% of offenders will repeat their crime. Stiffer sentencing is given to crimes that have NO VICTIMS..such as theft. Our children, who trust us to protect them are getting the short end. It's time to fight for our children and fight for tougher sentencing for pedophiles.

I have been reading the heartbreaking stories left in the comments and each one just fuels my resolve to see these monsters held accountable. Behind the scenes I am busy organizing these accounts to present to the committee because they need to understand that the current system is failing our kids.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight finally lifting off my chest. I know the pain of this issue too well and seeing so many people join this fight gives me hope that change is actually possible.

The law is totally broken. People serving more time for stealing a car than for hurting a child is just wrong. fix it now.
